son hosnestrly no one know the ingredients to make it anymore, before it was image then raw talent, then move a few units and show proof. Now you have wackness flooding the earth and i wake up like shit icould do that but im still here. My best advice dawg is too grind and churn tracks as much as you can, collabo with the world, flood myspace and the net as much as you can and trust youll see a big big difference.

Well I think it was a discussion at first of what the core ingredients that were needed to go somewhere in this industry, but became a disagreement of school & not going to school. I mean, there's things that are needed to be done depending on what your trying to be. As an Artist, things are a little different than trying to become a studio engineer or producer & make it. As an artist, you'll need the image & raw talent etc. As a studio engineer you need to show that you know how to work the equipment, as a producer you need to be able to arrange music & envision the music as good as possible.

I myself, was stating stuff other than becoming an artist.

All depends on what is your budget. Personally prices doesn't matter TOO much, cause there's a handful of great mic's that are decent priced. depending on your application.

BTW, Studio D gots a Neve console too So we work with 3 digital consoles, and 3 analog consoles, SSL, DM2000, 02R (which I don't even count), this Yamaha one that I can't remember the name but it's $25K, a NEVE console, and a digidesign console for video editing, and post production. I forgot which one that's called too. Also another DM4*** something. And a Soundcraft mixer in the mobile truck. So we get to work on various equipment so that we can go into any studio and work with their equipment. I already knew how to work with the SSL6000 cause we had a similar SSL console in the studio I worked at few years ago... idk, this school teaches you on a personal level, instead of a student - professor level. Which I learn a lot more. I already had 5 years backing, not including when I was messing around with pro equipment but not totally serious.

just gotta one up me... It's really just a personal choice. There are pros and cons to both routes and in the end it's all about YOUR dedication to making it work.

I echo the sentiments of avoiding majoring in music.
Anything they can teach you, you can learn yourself with dedication.
Spend that tuition on gear, and learn it front and back.

Go to local shows, meet people, perform, get a press kit together, give said press kit to local media etc... it's a hustle man, and it takes years. But if you apply yourself, you'll put yourself in a better position than you were in last week etc.. be that through meeting other artists/promoters, reading a helpful article etc... just DO IT, instead of thinking about how to go about doing it. Just start, and work hard, the next step will present itself. unless of course, one day, it doesn't. heh.
